OpenTTD is an open source clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

Tested in P412, P431 & pUPnGO2012

Update 20120911: Static build (uclibc/tinyX11) of newer version produced: Openttd 1.2.1 & Timidity 1.13.0 packages.
They might run on many versions of Puppy. Build only tested with Xvesa - if you are running Xorg it might not run.Last edited by goingnuts on Tue 11 Sep 2012, 13:43; edited 1 time in total

...I tried both links from 'goingnuts' but neither work and are old too....

Try downloading this first: Download a static build of OPENTTD_1.2.1 build by using uclibc/tinyX11
Above link is valid and should work...if so then
Unpack the downloaded archive fx. by using below command:

Code:

tar -xzf openttd-1.2.1_static.tar.gz

Now you have a directory named openttd-1.2.1_static.
Copy all the content to the root of your system fx. by using below command:

Code:

cp -af openttd-1.2.1_static/* /

OR create a pet-package by fx. using below command and install via normal packageinstaller:

Code:

dir2pet openttd-1.2.1_static

Restart X + start game from menu "Fun/OpenTTD" or run

Code:

openttd

Best to start the game first time from a command line as this will report any problems (if any)...

I did everything you said and made the pet instead. Which i never used to know how to before so thanks for that. It's much simpler than i thought. Anyway everything installed fine no errors or anything. Restarted X, started openttd in the console and no errors then i guess the game opens but i just get a black screen and nothing. I had to hold the power button and reboot.

My laptop really doesn't like it for some reason. I did what you said and chose 'vesa' i didn't have xvesa. then chose the resolution and i got half the screen working the rest was lines and colours. Anyway i tried to open openttd in console again but nothing black screen again. Maybe i should stop trying before i break something.

First of all: Thank you TheYoungOne for testing and reporting the results!
And Keef: You are right - it only works in Xvesa.
That has annoyed me but I did not find a way to make it work with Xorg - until now.
I have uploaded a new archive which in this end runs fine in Xorg. In my eager to reduce size I think I have restricted the connection methods in my tinyxlib too much - so after loosen up a bit it just runs fine.
@ TheYoungOne: If you have the patience to try one more time with a new download I would be glad to hear about your findings - anyway your reporting spotted a big drawback in my toolchain - and made me work on a solution for that - thanks!

I gave it another go with the new one. But it was much harder to figure out what i was doing and no doubt did something wrong. I downloaded the gzip archives. Followed the instruction as before with the new names. It wasn't a static file i guess this made the difference because the file was much different. Like the very first one a downloaded (not from your link). Anyway i followed it through to making the pet. It said i had to make a .desktop so i did best i could understand, installed the pet i made, restarted X, openttd in the console but it says command not found. Tbh i didn't expect it to work i guessed my way through.
